Generating Hypotheses and Exploring Data Gaps at the Headwaters
Currently the CFSF promotes the following collaborations and activities to fulfill its mission of facilitating, producing, analyze and sharing science-based knowledge among key participants involved in the remediation, restoration, research, and monitoring of the Upper Clark Fork River and its tributaries. Some of those activities include:
- Monthly Science Presentations and Discussions: We will try to meet most months throughout the year on the 3rd Wednesday of every month to host a speaker and/or facilitate a discussion on a topic relevant to the Clark Fork River. Check the calendar below for upcoming events and get on our mailing list. We will post recordings of past presentations and discussions on our YouTube Channel.
- Clark Fork Science Forum In-person Event: Every two years we will host a scientific conference-style event somewhere in the Clark Fork Basin. Previous events were held in Missoula (2023) and Butte (2024). We plan to host the next CFSF conference in April 2026, location TBD.
- Field Trips: When possible (likely in the summer), we will provide opportunities to join scientists and agency managers in the field to explore the science and management of the Clark Fork River system.
